The inaugural garden party of the season was held today at Buckingham Palace, the first of two bookends around the coronation. The Queen sported two re-wears: her blue and white Bruce Oldfield dress and broad-brimmed Philip Treacy hat.
Were we just saying we hadn’t seen one of Camilla’s chokers lately? She heard us. Here is the return of a well-loved piece, her four-strand pearl necklace with the small diamond clasp.
The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh were out there supporting the Big Two. Sophie is also in two re-wears, her gingham check Suzannah London coat dress and Jane Taylor hat.
Look who loves a garden party! The Duke is cheeky as ever.
Apologies to the Gloucesters, but as is par for the course, there are no decent photos of them. The Duchess is wearing a re-wear here, as she often does. I hope you can discern the fabulous pearls around her neck in this poor picture. They are something.

Let us know your thoughts!
